I actually broke my Langsters frame; likely because it wasn't designed strong enough to haul my fat ass around. For now I am on a Redline Monocog. I look forward to getting back on a fix in the future. I was able to salvage most of the components on the Langster. I am keeping an eye out for a good dirt cheap steel frame. The more scratches and ugly the better.

If you are not a lard ass like myself (5'11, 300lbs) I would recommend the Langster. If I had to do it all over again I would have tried to find a dirt cheap 70's/80's heavy duty steel road frame and put used crappy/heavy/but safe parts on it.
